Happened an unwanted thing in Daisy/mathcat main branch?

[hammera]

Hi @daisy/mathcat-translators and @daisy/mathcat-maintainers,

In afternoon I looked what changed into upstream main branch, I see lot of new commits happened.
I want syncing the Rules/Languages/hu/definitions.yaml rule file new missing rule (the of word part related new change).
In an unaffected afternoon cloned github.com/daisy/mathcat repo main branch I see following git status output (I only ran git clone git@github.com:daisy/mathcat command), after this, go to the source directory, and typed git status command:

On branch main
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.

This is how possible? I newer see this type issue a fresh cloned repository without any me doed change.
My Mathcat entire source directory are corrupted? I do rm -r the source directory, repeat the git clone related task, and again looked git status command.
Nothing changed, so I don't understand what happened, why shows the quoted output with git status command without I changing anything the repository. :-):-)
What can me need doing to have possibility right doing the Rules/Languages/hu/definitions.yaml file related changes my fork without risking the upstream main branch content? Lot of files changed into the main branch, but the hu branch doesn't contain with latest main state.
The upstream/hu branch not yet contains actual main branch content, equals the september 8 latest I doed change merge with Neil merged to the hu branch of Github.com/daisy/mathcat repository.

Following latest commits are happened in upstream main branch:

    Swap IntentMappings so ":" is argument glue and "|" is verbosity -- this looks much better. All language `definitions.yaml` are updated.
    
    Fix parsing of `IntentMappings`. Parsing now lives in one place, so ratio-style "name : glue" pairs, arity templates, and bracketing speech stay consistent across languages.
    
    This all started as a fix to #709, but then I discovered that the format used in `IntentMappings` was parsed incorrectly in some cases (such as "ratio").

    Set CRLF line endings for .rs and .yaml files

An interesting experience, with I tryed, and correct me the wrote issue:

git clone git@github.com:daisy/mathcat
git status (show the first comment quoted result)
git checkout 8ebda89cceeb59bee377e60b4696e18718c28609 command, and git reset --hard command.
After this command execution, git status show me following output:
On branch main
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

After this, I ran git checkout main command (possible this is unneed), ran git fetch and git pull command, and look again git status command.
Commit tree is right.
Interesting, I don't no if happening a git clone the upstream github.com/daisy/mathcat repo, why not clean the fresh commit tree a fresh cloned repo.
Me not have ydea what happened after the 8ebda89 commit with resulted this interesting problem.

ok, I think I understand what is going on.
Lines can end with CRLF or LF (see for example this post). We have used CRLF so far (as the default of Windows that Neil uses). Because Codex/Claude sometimes mess these up, I added .gitattributes to set it to CRLF before comitting, but those files seem to not use CRLF, so they are flagged by Git.
Anyway, that's how far I understand it for now, it's a very weird and annoying topic.

Thanks for bringing it up.
This shouldn't be too hard to fix.

[moritz-gross]

let me know if it works properly now: #843

[MartheGjelstad]

The same thing happened with me on Tuesday. My solution was to delete the whole local version of the repo from computer and clone it again. I now pulled the latest changes in main, and it worked :)

[MartheGjelstad]

But, now I tried to change my local branch from main to rule-coverage. I then got 17 unstaged files... What should I do?

[moritz-gross]

I merged it into main, which does not have the problem of those 17 files.
You should be able to just try it out on the main branch, the branch rule-coverage is not needed anymore.
